BACKGROUND 1. Field of Invention

The present invention relates to a cooler for storing items includingfood and beverages and the top of the container has a height adjustabletable surface.

2. Background of the Art

A cooler or cooling container for storing food and beverage items in acool condition for use on picnics, comping trips, and outdoorexcursions. The food and beverages can be kept in the container at acool temperature insulated from outside with ice and other coolingmaterials therewith. However, a user of a cooling container oftenencounters is a lack of usable storage surface such as a table for food.While using a cooling container, people often use the top of thecooling's lid as a table by placing objects, such as open drinks, food,condiments, etc., on top of the lid. This presents a problem becauseevery time a person needs to retrieve something from inside thecontainer, the open drinks, food, condiments and so forth need to beremoved from the top of the lid. The lid is lifted to access inside ofcontainer or completely removed from the container.

Another problem with conventional cooling container is the lack ofstorage space for dry goods, such as paper plates, utensils, cups, etc.,and for other objects, such as beach toys, towels, etc.

Therefore, a need exists for a table that may be attached to a coolingin an elevated position, thereby providing a storage surface while stillallowing the lid of the cooler to be opened, and an enclosure forstoring objects between the cooling and the elevated table, therebyallowing for easy transportation of said objects.

There exists a need in an art for an insulated container having aremovable top and which further provides convenient storage surface suchas table which many be used independently of the lid of the container.The vertically adjustable table on the container as a lid itself isrequired.

SUMMARY

A table top cooler provides a storage surface while still allowing thelid of the cooler to be opened, and an enclosure for storing objectswithin the cooling container, the enclosure being accessible between theelevated table and the top of the open container, thereby allowing foreasy transportation of said objects. A table-top cooling container has avertically adjustable top table with a plurality of wheels attachable tothe body, which provides mobility. The adjustable top on the containeris used as a lid itself and lifts off vertically and discloses insideitems of the cooling container. A table top is associated with thecooling container which in the stored position rests on top of thecontainer and is secured by table rods thereof each of which areinsertable into an aperture located in each wall of the container. Thetable rods can be stowed inside of the container by inserting the rodsinto start of the container. The table top seals the container as italso acts as the cover to the cooler.

When the table top is elevated off the container, a spring-loaded buttonlocated in each rod engages with a hole in the aperture located in thewall of the container. When a user elevates the table top from thecontainer, the table rods moves vertically and at a certain height locksin place so that the table top can provide a horizontal table top orstorage surface elevated above the top surface of the open containerpermitting the lid of the container to be opened. The table rods extendupward to a predetermined distance from the container to support thetable in an elevated position. The table rods are vertically extendablefrom the container so that the storage surface may be elevated from theclosed position to an open position above the upper surface of the opencontainer and locked in at a predetermined position.

The table top may be further provided with trays or compartments forstorage of items such as eating utensils. The table is providing theextra space for the food trays or some other useful purposes at theoutdoor at the same time the user can freely take out items from thecontainer. The top lid is opened as the table is lifted off vertically.

As shown in FIGS. 1-18 , a table top cooling container 200 for storingfood and beverage items in a cool condition for used on picnics, compingtrips, and outdoor excursions. The food and beverages can be kept in thecontainer at a cool temperature insulated from outside with ice chestand other cooling materials therewith. The container 200 has a pluralityof wheels 15 attachable to the body, which provides mobility andconversion.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a moveable table top cooler 200 in aclosed position with a top table 20 in accordance with the inventivearrangements disclosed herein. The moveable table top cooler 200includes a table 20, a cooling container box 40, a handle 61, asemicircular basket 61, wheels 63, a cavity 45, and a button 17. Thebutton 17 is used with embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 4B-5D. FIG. 2 isa perspective view of the movable table top cooler 200 in an openposition with an elevated top table 20. The table 20 which is openedincludes at least two table rails or rods 30. FIG. 3 is a perspectiveview of the movable table top cooler 200 and the top table 20 detachedfrom the moveable table top cooler 200. The container 40 includes atleast two rail-receiving channels or apertures 50. The top table 20 canbe easily detached from the moveable table top cooler 200 by a userlifting off from the cooling container 40.

A cooling container 200 is integrated with a table surface on its top20. The table 20 has at least two table rods 30 extending from the lowersurface of the table in FIG. 4 . The table rods 30 can have a rounded orsquare cross-sectional shape; other shapes are contemplated. The tablerods 30 are fixed on the lower surface of the table 20. The table rods30 can be tightly fastened to the table 20 and support the table 20vertically. It is appreciated that different types of table rods may beprovided, fixed, collapsible or detachable to a lower part of the table.The table rods 30 can be composed of any material including wooden ormetallic materials. The inside of the table rods 30 can be hollow for afirst embodiment. Each table rod 30 includes a hole 95 positioned atsome vertical point between the top edge and the bottom edge of thetable rod 30. The hole 95 penetrates the rod 30 at a right angle.Positioned within the hole 95 is a spring 96 and a button-shapedprotrusion 11 that extends out of the table rod 30. The button-shapedprotrusion 11 can enter or exit from the hole 95 to connect to thespring 96 inside of the hole 95 (see FIG. 4 ). The button-shapedprotrusion 11 can be normally protruded from the table rod 30 due to theresilience 130 of the spring 96. The spring 96 can be connected to thebutton shaped protrusion 11. The spring 96 release is located in thetube of the rod 30. A user can give a pressure on the protrusion andpush it into the tube. The spring 96 in the tube are resilient so it canbe restored if there is no pressure on it. The spring 96 can be anymaterial including steel but its resilience can be enough for theprotrusion to restore at the initial position. In some embodiment, theprotrusion in the tube can be pushed in and out by any pressure from theoutside. The table rods are fixated on the table with bolts in FIG. 4 .The inside of the table rod shows the button-shaped protrusion 11 inFIG. 4 .

For another embodiment, the top table 20 can include a button 17 in FIG.4A, which can be used to facilitate actions relating to the rod and ahandle system. More particularly, activation of button 17 can facilitateactions such as extending and retracting the rod and releasing orengaging the table top to facilitate lifting motion and/or loweringmotion about the rod in FIG. 4A. The rod is fixed to the top table as aleg of the top table and has a shape like a plunger in FIG. 4A.

The rod 30 can define an axis 18 that is generally aligned with the rod.The top table in FIG. 4A can include at least one gripping sideextension 19 on the side surface of the top table in FIG. 4B. The sidegripping extension 19 can be provided along the button 17 such that itis substantially perpendicular to the plane on the button 17 of the toptable 20. The axis also 18 is substantially perpendicular to the toptable 20, and when taken together with the axis, forms the plane that isabout parallel with the rod 30. The top table 20 can be secured to therod 30 assembly that facilitates vertical movement of the top tablerelative to the rod 30. The vertical movement can include up and downmovement of the top table 20 about the axis 18.

As one embodiment, the space between a rod 30 and an aperture 50 in thebox is closely narrowed when the rod 30 is inserted into the aperture 50to prevent any loose gaps in FIG. 5A. The aperture 50 receives the tablerod 30 in FIGS. 5A-5B. The button 11 of rods 30 is pulled out of thecooling container's out layer in FIG. 5A. The rod 30 on the top table 20can include a hook 12 and the hook 12 to the rod 30 provides aconfiguration as follows: when the rod 30 is secured to the coolingcontainer of the top table cooler by the button 11 attached to a groovedobject 13 in FIG. 5A, the top table within the top table cooler rest ina plane parallel to a surface of the top table cooler, creating a stabletop table cooler locks the top table into the cooling container . Thebutton 17 on the top table can be pushed down along with the hook 12causing the button 11 is pulled into rod 30 in FIG. 5B. The hook 12unlocks the rod which is secured to the cooling container by pulling abutton 11 into the cooling container. The grooved object 13 includes thebutton 11 and moves horizontally side by side by a spring 14 which thespring 14 is attached to the grooved object 13. When the hook 12 ispushed down, the grooved object 13 with the button 11 is pulled into therod 30 so the rod 30 can move vertically. The button 11 can be pulledout from the inside to the outside of the rod through the holes 93 ofthe cooling container's wall due to the spring which is attached towhile the rod moves vertically at 500 in FIG. 5C-5D. The elevated rod 30can be locked due to the button 11, which is pulled out from the coolingcontainer through a hole 93 in FIG. 5D. The top table cooler 200 can beat the open position while the top table is locked into the coolingcontainer.

Although the mechanism to lock the lid in the open position has beendescribed with respect to the illustrations described above, other latchand release mechanisms are contemplated.

The cooling container box 40 can have at least two layers such as aninner layer 47 and an outer layer 48, which insulate the box fromoutside variable temperatures (see FIG. 6 ). The items inside of thecontainer can be maintained in a desired temperature range. There is oneaperture 50 or hollow inside the wall associated with each table rod 30and configured to stow a table rod 30. The aperture 50 is locatedbetween the outer layer 48 and inner layer 47 of the container. Theaperture is located at longitudinal section between layers of the box.The cooling container 200 shows the aperture 50 in FIG. 6 . The hollowlength of the aperture 50 can be extended vertically from top of thecontainer to bottom of the container 140 and be longer than the lengthof the table rod 150 (see FIG. 7A). The shape of the aperture 50 can beformed to mate with the table rod 30 shape to stow the table rods 30.The aperture 50 of the container can contain the table rods 30 insidethereof. The shape of the aperture 50 can be any shape such asrectangular or rounded shape depending on the shape of the table rods 30to secure the table (see FIG. 7A).

When the table is at the closed position, the table top 20 seals the topof the container thus improving thermal insulation to thereby retainitems stored therein at a desired temperature range (see FIG. 7B). Thetable 20 tightly lays on top of the container at the closed position.The table top 20 seals the container and acts as the lid of thecontainer in the closed position 160 in FIG. 7B.

The side of the container containing the hollow aperture 50 is connectedto a horizontal hole 94 at a right angle 70 (see FIG. 8 ). Thehorizontal hole 94 of the container is located at some vertical pointbetween the top and bottom of the container. The horizontal hole 94 ofthe container is tunneled from a side of aperture to outside of thecontainer horizontally. A cap can be integrated into the hole fromoutside of the container, and can be shaped as a tack and elongated. Theelongated cap is pushed into the small hollow hole to reach the side ofthe aperture of the container. When the cap is pushed into theaperture's side by a user, the small hollow hole can be filled with thepart of the elongated cap. The elongated cap can be any materialincluding metal or plastic. The elongated cap can be long enough toreach the side of aperture and a user can insert it into the smallhollow.

A user can lift off the top-table from a closed container (see FIG. 9 ).The horizontal table with rods 30 is inserted into the aperture 50 ofthe container vertically. The table can be vertically extendable fromthe container. The table is supported on rods 30 that are verticallyextendable from the container to a use-position above container 170. Thetable top may be further provided with trays or compartments for storageof items such as eating utensils. The button-shaped protrusion 11 of thetable rods 30 can be used for locking in the table 20 at the certainopen position. The button-shaped protrusion 11 is integrated with aspring 96 while the rods 30 go up, the protrusion 11 can be stowedinside of the hollow table rods because the contact side aperture of thecontainer pushes the protrusion into the table rod 30 until the rod withbutton-shaped protrusion reaches the hole 80 of the aperture 50 of thecontainer 40. There is a small hollow hole instead of the contactsurface of the container and nothing can push into the protrusion intothe table rods. The button-shaped protrusion of the table rods can beprotruded toward the small hole of the container due to a connectedspring's resilience (see FIG. 9 ). The small hollowed hole 80 can catchthe protrusion of table rods. The hole can be operated as a boathook andhook up into the protrusion of the table rods, which locks in the tableat a use-position above container and stops lowering the tablevertically. Because the protruded part of the rod is hooked into thehole of the container, the table can be locked in the open position andthe container is open for use. A user can access into the coolingcontainer's items. The table is secured at the open position. The tableis lifted off from the container and table rods are extendable from astored position to a position of use and engageable in the container toposition the table at the elevation above and parallel to the containertop to allow access to the container. The table may also be lifted offfor use independent of the container. In other embodiments, the rods areextendible from apertures in the cooling side or end of walls to allowthe table unit to be elevated to the desired position and then securedin place.

A rounded button 90 (see FIG. 10 ) as a cap can be connected to thesmall hollow hole 80 of container at the outer of the wall. The roundedbutton 90 can be elongated and inserted the hole of the container fromthe outside and the hole can be stuffed with the part of the elongatedcap. The shape of the cap can be of various shapes. The elongated capcan fill the hole from the outside wall of the container and theelongated cap can reach the inside of the aperture of the container fromthe outside wall of the container. The elongated cap is attached outsidethe wall of the container and the length of the cap can be extended tothe end of the hole inside. The user can push the part of the buttoninto the hole and pull it out from the hole 100.

In some embodiments, FIGS. 11A-11C are perspective partial side view ofthe rod and cooling container laid at 90-degree angle. FIGS. 11A-11C arethe just embodiment associate with FIGS. 9-10 . The button 90 isattached to the wall of the cooling container (see FIG. 11A). The rodwith the top table is locked to the cooling container and secured whenthe rod button 11 pushes the button 90 with the spring tension from therod. However, when a user pushes the button 90, the button 11 is pulledinto the rod and the rod can be unlocked to the cooling container andmove freely in FIGS. 11B-11C.

In some embodiments, the button can have a spring at the bottom of thebutton so the user can push part of the button into the hole and easilypull it out from the hole when no force is on the cap. A user can fillthe hole of the container's wall by pushing a rounded cap. In onenon-limiting embodiment, the cap can be screwed into the hole thus,filling the hole. The cap's shape can be of various shapes depending onthe hole's size and shape provided the button may be able to operate topush or pull into the hole. The small hole of the container is filledwith the elongated button and it can push the protrusion of the tablerod into the rod. A user can pull up the table from the container bypushing into each side of the elongated buttons 110 (see FIG. 12 ).Otherwise, the table can cover up the container as a lid.

The table 20 can seal the top surface of the container 40 like an icebox (see FIG. 7B). The sealed container can preserve the items insideand a user can store items with cooling materials. However, a user canseal the container 40 with the top table 20 and can be lift thetop-table off from the container (see FIG. 12 ). In some embodiments,there are two layers inside of the container. Two layers in thecontainer have slightly different size in light of the vertical height.The inner layer 47 can emerge from the top of the container. Thetop-table 20 has a cushion material at the boundary thereof, whichtouches the inner layer 47 of the container. The touching area of theinner layer 47 can emerge from the top of the container a minor amountbut enough for the user to notice it. The inner layer 47 of thecontainer 40 can be a little raised from the surface of the containerand can touch on the cushion material of the table. Accordingly, thecontainer can be sealed, but the outer layer 48 is lower than the innerlayer 47 and cannot be touched on the top table (see FIG. 13 ).Accordingly, there is an open gap 85 between the top table and thecontainer because of the outer layer 48. The open gap between the outerlayer 48 of the container 40 and the table top 20 is slight, and theopen gap can be used for the user to lift off the table from thecontainer.

The top table 20 with rods 30 touches the container 40 and the rods 30insert into the aperture 50 of the container 40 vertically. Thebutton-shaped protrusion 11 can be protruded from the rods 30 and theprotrusion lays on the top of container's wall (see FIG. 13 ). Unless auser pushes into the protrusion 11 into the rods of the table, the tablecan be higher than the top surface of the container 40 and higher thanthe table rods 30 locked inside of the container 40 (see FIG. 14 ). Eachrod 30 has a protrusion 11 and can secure the position of the table 20at the heightened position from the surface of the container 40. Thetable can be at an elevation above 190 and parallel to the container topto allow access to the cooling chamber (see FIG. 14 ). The protrusion 11can support the table 20 with rods 30 on the top of the surface of thecontainer 40.

The assembly may also contain handles 61 to assist in mobility andconversion. At least one handle 61 can be attached to adjacent the endwalls of the container 40 (see FIG. 15 ). The handle 61 is locatedagainst the end wall and in a towing position that allows a user to pullor move the container 40 using wheels 63. A handle 61 can be fastenedusing screw holes on the container's wall. Each of the ends of thehandle 61 can be fixed to the wall of container 40 through the holes onthe container 40. Screws for a handle 61 can be separately provided forthe assembly process. In some embodiments, when the handles 61 aregrasped by the user, they may be pivoted to convenient position forlifting or carrying the container.

The container can have a cavity 45 near bottom of the container tunneledfrom inside to outside of the container 40 in order drain liquidtherein. A screw 46 can plug in the cavity when it is not used (see FIG.16 ). The location of the cavity 45 can be located against any wall ofthe container 40 provided it can drain the liquid from the container.The use of the cavity 45 is not limited to draining liquid, but mayinclude any purpose such as pouring beverages using a spigot.

Each wheel 63 can be provided with a leg 65 (see FIG. 17 ). The leg 65and the wheels 63 can be assembled separately. The wheels 63 with legs65 can be mounted to the container for mobility. At least one wheel 63with at least one leg 65 can be assembled to the bottom of the container40. At least one wheel 63 can be assembled with at least one wheel's leg65. The legs 65 with wheels 63 thereon can adjust the vertical length ofthe container 40. Each leg can be assembled to the wheel using a screwhole and screw. The leg of the wheel is directly attached to thecontainer through screw holes and screws. The wheels can rotate 360degrees. A user can move the container using the wheels in at anydirection. The wheels 63 have a screw 66 attached and are assembled intoa thread groove 67 of the container secured with nuts or end capsthereof.

A semicircular basket 62 having at least one u-shaped aperture 81 at theplane side of basket 62 can be assembled or attached to a protrudingrack located at the side of the container 40 (see FIG. 18 .) Theprotruding rack can hook the semicircular basket 82 to the containerthrough u-shaped apertures 81. The u-shaped apertures can help thebasket 62 to cling to the container 40. FIG. 18 shows a side view of thesemicircular basket. There are two U-shaped apertures on the side of thebasket 62, but this number is not limiting. At least one u-shapedaperture 81 is located on the plane side of the basket 62, whose sidecan face the rack of container. The semicircular basket can provideextra storage in addition to the inside storage of the container.
